Oasis Live ’25 Reunion Tour
Oasis made it official with an Instagram post declaring, “This is it; it is happening,” confirming their long-awaited reunion. On August 27, 2024, the British rock icons unveiled the Oasis Live ’25 Reunion Tour, marking their return after 15 years of separate careers. The announcement was made via the band’s official website, with both Liam and Noel Gallagher sharing the news.
Excitement is building as fans anticipate how the Gallagher brothers will interact on stage. However, no mention has been made of former members Guigsy, Bonehead, or Tony McCarroll joining the tour, though many still hope for a full original lineup.
The initial announcement listed 17 dates, including five nights at Wembley Stadium and another five at Heaton Park in Manchester, covering five cities across the UK and Ireland.
With Oasis tickets in high demand, three extra shows were added on August 29, 2024, including two additional nights at Wembley. The tour will begin at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium before moving to Manchester’s Heaton Park.
Performances are also scheduled for legendary venues such as Wembley Stadium in London, Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh, and Croke Park in Dublin, with the grand finale set for September 28, 2025, at Wembley Stadium.
Ultimately, “Oasis Live ’25” offers a nostalgic journey after years of animosity and absence. This tour not only reunites the band with their fans but also provides an opportunity to restore their legacy following their explosive 2009 split.
Oasis has promised an electrifying experience, reinforcing their place among the greatest rock bands in history. Here are some of the venues they’ll be performing.
Heaton Park—Manchester, England
Manchester is buzzing with excitement as Oasis prepares for a triumphant return to the city where Liam and Noel Gallagher first made their mark. The Burnage-born brothers will take the stage at Heaton Park for four nights as part of their 2025 reunion tour. This venue holds deep significance for the band, having hosted them for three memorable nights in 2009 during the Dig Out Your Soul Tour.
“Oasis Live ’25” is set to be another defining chapter in their legacy. The band will headline five massive shows at Greater Manchester’s largest park on July 11, 12, 16, 19, and 20. Their previous performances at this venue were all about the music and spectacle—this time, fans can expect even more impressive production and staging.
With an estimated 80,000 attendees per night, Oasis is on course to surpass the attendance record held by The Stone Roses. The reunion is not just a major musical event but also an economic boost for Manchester, benefiting hotels, pubs, restaurants, and local businesses.
For fans, these Heaton Park concerts will be more than just live shows—they’ll be a historic homecoming for one of Manchester’s most iconic bands.
